Flow Surveys
At Pipe Testing Services, we take pride in offering expert flow survey services. Moreover, with a solid reputation built on over 30 years of industry experience, we have become the go-to team for flow monitoring and surveys. If you’re in need of reliable, accurate, and valuable data to optimise your pipeline network, we are here to assist you every step of the way.
Since its inception in the 80s, we have worked in the field of survey technology to monitor foul and surface water networks. As a result, we’ve worked closely with the Water Research Centre (WRC) Consequently, over the years, we’ve built up a strong clientele.
Today, procedures have subsequently developed from the basis of the current Model Contract Document and the associated codes of practice.
Why Flow Surveys Matter
In so much as they are essential for industries reliant on efficient and well-maintained pipelines; flow surveys play a vital role. These surveys are instrumental in assessing pipeline performance, identifying potential issues, and ensuring optimal flow rates for various applications.
To emphasize, with their comprehensive analysis, industries gain valuable insights into pipeline efficiency, making informed decisions for seamless operations.
The Process of Flow Surveys
Employing a well-structured systematic approach, our comprehensive surveys and monitoring precisely measure the depth of flow and velocity in pipelines. Subsequently, this data is seamlessly integrated with rain gauge information, enabling our hydraulic modeling engineers to accurately assess the performance characteristics of pipelines.
During this meticulous process, we provide valuable insights that contribute to optimised pipeline operations, ensuring seamless and efficient functioning.
Applications
With a wide array of applications spanning diverse sectors, flow surveys become an indispensable aspect of pipeline management. Our comprehensive surveys cater to a variety of industry needs, ranging from short-term monitoring for calibration to long-term proactive network management.

Flow Surveys for Different Industries
To be more specific, these surveys play a critical role in various industries; ensuring smooth operations, optimal efficiency, and adherence to regulatory standards. Here are some key industries in which where our services prove invaluable:
In the water and wastewater industry, flow surveys are essential for monitoring sewer networks, managing combined sewer overflow, detecting leakage, and verifying trade effluent flow. With our accurate data, water authorities can make informed decisions to ensure sustainable water management practices.
They are particularly valuable in urban pollution management surveys, assessing the impact of pollutants on natural water bodies. Leveraging our expertise, industries can identify and mitigate environmental risks, safeguarding ecosystems, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, chemical production, and precision machining rely on precise flow measurements to optimise their processes. This ensures consistent production, minimises waste, and enhances overall efficiency.
In the energy sector, surveys play a crucial role in renewable energy projects, including hydroelectric and wind power plants. Accurate flow data allows for efficient energy generation and the utilisation of natural resources.
Additionally, these types of surveys are employed in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to ensure proper functioning and energy efficiency. By optimising the flow rates, industries can effectively reduce energy consumption and operational costs.
